Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Moore. Grade: B-.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Dante Moore, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Muhammad at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The World reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at slot 33 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Taurean York
They read the board right and Taurean York was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick101 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Somehow Malik Muhammad was still sitting there in pick No. 101, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115 Rnd4 Brendan Sorsby
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brendan Sorsby at pick 115. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 Tao Johnson
They did well to land Tao Johnson in the 136th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick175 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson in No. 175 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
